Doubtful the administration will follow the rules set by the judge. They no longer care about following the law.
News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
They kind of have to since Jeffery Goldberg published the texts in full ... which makes this funny as hell when you think about it.
Until i aee any evidence that anybody wants to enforce the Constitution, i conclude the next move is removal of the judge. Or maybe he'll fall out a window.
It's that bad folks. Our remaining politicians and law enforcers need to take this seriously. Shit got real months ago.
I'd rather wait and see what happens.
I for one wouldn't be at all surprised if the next move is something along the lines of "the party told you what to believe" kind of thing.
Wouldn’t the only form available be the screenshots? They started the thread with 1hr disappearing messages.
Edit: 1 week, but still

Except everything that was said after Goldberg left the chat. That's probably all already deleted.

This alone should be sufficient evidence to send these fucknuts to prison.
Exactly, yet they're futzing aound like there's no known way to deal with this behavior. This is why i think all the outrage is theater to keep us all believing things will work out until there is nothing anybody can do about it.
Then they will be free to disappear any undesirables unhindered.
Wouldn’t the only form available be the screenshots?
Correct, if you can't see it on the screen it might as well not exist as far as a digital forensic examination goes. At least when it comes to the message content.
heavy deleting intensifies
"I order you not to digest that meal you ate 2 weeks ago!"
The messages were set to delete after 1 week, how exactly does this Judge think they can comply? Invent a time machine?
Yeah, I bet they're already gone.
But here's where we leave checkers behind and go to chess: that's the point. The regs demand those convos persist as a record.
3d chess? "Please produce records of previous conversations where" ... and name some monumental decisions which should have a lot of ancillary chatter but now has no record.
You can't see the whole iceberg, but I predict someone just turned on the sonar to see what's down there.
